I would like to allow lock access based on presence but I can’t see how to get the user that triggered a button in the interface to check if they are near the lock. Is something like that possible?
Use {{ context.user_id }}
in a script that you call with a button, that id will be the id of the user that called the script.

You can use the new trigger ids here as well
@ludeeus
Can you tell me as how to get the user’s friendly_name
from context.user_id
if I want to use it in a script that I call with a button. Thanks
Edit: My intention is to use it in the service notify.alexa_media
in a voice announcement.
FYI I saw your reply in this thread but I did not understand how to get the button entity id on love-lace UI that triggered the script.
There may be a better method, but this seems to work:
service: notify.alexa_media_living_room_dot
data:
message: >-
{{ expand(states.person) | selectattr('attributes.user_id', 'eq', context.user_id)
| map(attribute='attributes.friendly_name')|first }} pressed a button.
data:
type: tts

Thank you so much let me try that out.
Edit:
It worked. Thanks again.
{% set x = context.user_id %}
{{ expand(states.person) | selectattr('attributes.user_id', 'eq', x) | map(attribute='attributes.friendly_name')|first }}
